An inscribed stone stands at the entrance to the churchyard at Stowford. It stands five feet six inches out of the ground and the stone is fine-grained, not a granite. The inscription, which was rubbed on not cut, reads GUNGLEI (2) and is in lettering of about 600 AD or a little later (3). (2-3)

SX 43288700 as described; the inscription is still clearly visible. (4)

This is a pilar stone of 5th-11th century date. The text reads:`[G]U[.G]LE[S]where the bracketed letters are legible but unusual in form.Various readings of the text have been suggested, and it is presumably a personal name. The text uses insular script suggesting a date of the 8th-11th centuries. (5)
